Everyone needs to see this

Patients navigating the highways of centralized medicine are on the road to nowhere, and they're trying to escape. The escape route is through their light environment. None of their centralized MDs know this.

The decentralized truth is out there.
It is not to be found among the centralized experts in healthcare.
It cannot be found by reading the research or the guidelines.
But it is out there if you look hard enough.

Green therapy for more infra-red light

Leaves reflect long-wavelength light, thereby amplifying its positive effects on mitochondrial function. This is a nontrivial positive effect.

Are you optimizing your body for sunlight absorption?

I have to admit I ignored a very important point out of this regime for a long time.

As a healthcare practitioner I was focussed on measurable inputs that gain reliable outcomes.

For that reason I focussed on supplemental magnesium for Vitamin D (and many other) optimisation.

Subcutaneous magnesium absorption refers to the process of magnesium being absorbed through the skin when it is applied to the tissue beneath the surface, typically via magnesium oils, gels, or patches.

The thing about soaking your skin in magnesium pre sunlight exposure is it’s going to be hyper available around the areas where cholesterol is converted to the molecules that eventually become vitamin D.

There’s ongoing debate about how effective transdermal magnesium is compared to oral magnesium supplementation.

Some studies suggest that topical application can be effective in raising magnesium levels, especially in individuals who have deficiencies, while other studies indicate that oral supplements might be more reliable.

The bioavailability of transdermal magnesium, however, is still considered lower and less well-defined in comparison.

From what I have read it is a significant tool to compliant oral magnesium especially when considering sunlight optimisation in the skin.

Epsom salt baths are known to reduce burning - probably due to better conversion of UVB at the skin interface.

Anyone have anything to add to this sunlight regime?
